DiGi Prepaid is sorely lacking in good data options for light users.
Not everyone want to use postpaid or can afford a high-end smartphone.
This week I'm using Weekly 250MB @ RM15/week.
After 4 days of what for me is quite heavy usage (check email, lowyat, read news, browse some other sites, use mostsms, etc), my data usage less than 40MB total, so 1 day is use less than 10MB), and the whole week may add up to 70MB which is less than a third of the quota.
I'm using UC browser which I think is pretty efficient on reducing data consumptions.
I'm way below quota and therefore feel the price DiGi is charging is not value-for-money.
Hotlink has 7 mobile internet options, with various quota and duration (and unlike DiGi, only the monthly ones auto-renew)
Umobile has their monthly 500MB for RM28, which works out less than half what I'm paying and interestingly also half the quota under DiGi's Weekly 250MB.
For me, Umobile has hit the relevance button with their prepaid package. I am very loyal to DiGi having been their prepaid customer for 12 years. However, I will not wait forever for DiGi to come out with relevant data offering for prepaid users.
As I see it, there are 3 possibilities:
1. introduce more choices like Hotlink already have
2. modify the PAYU cap to have a staged pricing (example, RM1 for up to 10MB, RM2 for up to 25MB, and etc)
3. offer rebates/rewards for light users that do not exceed the quotas.
The weekly RM15 is way too expensive. It should be RM15 for 2 weeks then it would be just nice.Not everyone want to use postpaid or can afford a high-end smartphone.
